i am very new to photography, wishing i had more time more equipment (and more money ha ha). without a camera i am always looking at things and wondering what the pic would look like thru a viewfinder.
i am very nervous of taking the camera out where people can see me for some reason. as a result, i don't have a lot of photos of scenes i would like to capture.
flikr is great for keeping up the interest, it provides me with a lot of ideas. i might try my version of a picture i liked on the site, but i suppose a lot of photographers are that way..
i am very critical of my pics. there are few that i am really happy with. i definately need people to comment on my pics, see what i could have done better or differently.
i own a Nikon d60 with nothing more powerful than a 200mm zoom. i am looking to buy a 70-300mm in time. i play with my pics with pse7, but not too much alterations. how you should see it should be how you should see it in realtime.
comments please.
